I've had acne for nearly 50 years. In my early twenties (1971-1976) I went on this drug for several years. It helped the acne, but I developed severe allergies... Hay fever, grass and weed allergies, animal fur, etc. I never connected the drug with my sudden allergic condition until years later. I have since read that this can happen with this family of drugs.

I've been off of all drugs for several years and my allergic condition has left, but it took several years.

I am a 26 female with severe adult cystic acne. tetracycline clears my acne completely within a month and a half. I have been on and off of this med for 8 years. SE I've encountered are recurring yeast inf and sensitivity to the sun. It is not a med to be on during pregnancy, this I found was the only down side. It is a severe teratogen, that at about the 10th week of pregnancy effects the developement of a fetus. Overall I would recomend this treatment if topicals have no effect and before drastic decisions are made about potent alternatives with serious SE.

I took this medication for about a month. My acne decreased and everything was fine. However a month in it broke me out in humongous clusters of whelts over my entire body. I was forced to take steroids to counteract the reaction. I would reccomend you take it at your own risk.
